According to the Algerian Ambassador to Cameroon, Merzak Bedjaoui, an Algerian-Cameroonian trade office will be opened in Douala to strengthen the economic cooperation between the two countries.

The details of the establishment of the trade office, the diplomat explained, will be fine-tuned during the Cameroonian- Algerian Economic Partnership Forum, which will be organised in Douala. In prelude to the event, 12 Cameroonian economic operators will take part in the 5th edition of the Algeria Export Fair, from May 27 to 30, 2016.

The Centre Region Fraud Control squad of the Delegation of Commerce impounded some 110 tons of sugar allegedly imported fraudulently.

Sugar importation has been banned in Cameroon following complaints from the Cameroon Sugar Company that her products are not consumed in the local market because of massive importation of contraband sugar.

According to officials in the Ministry of Commerce, the seizure of the sugar is aimed at preventing the commercialisation of 500,000 tons of sugar, which have fraudulently been imported by commercial operators.
